No wonder army will never promote you to some certain ranks except you become a muslim. I strongly belief one day, the muslim cabels will be flushed away from the system and things go aright. What nonsense! 5 Likes |

If you are not a Christian and you typed that then you dont have religious tolerance and you are no different from the fanatic Muslims parading as terrorist killing innocent people in the name of religion. 4 Likes |

The only reason an Arabic inscription is, in combination with English, on Nigeria's currency today is the influence ofhistory. It has been so from the very first time paper currency was printed for Nigerian use (either for British or indigenous Traders). Before the Nigerian pound (replaced in 1973 by Naira and Kobo), the old West African Currency Board (WACB) pound (also known as West African Pound (WAP)) wasin use, first from 1913 in restricted distribution, and then more generally from 1946 until 1959 in Nigeria, 1957 in Ghana, 1965 in Gambia and 1964 in Sierra Leone. Liberia also used the currency until 1943 when it changed to the U.S. dollar. British Southern Cameroon used it too, until the plebiscite of 1961. The WAP - from which the post- independence currencies of Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Gambia were derived - also had Arabic inscriptions onit. The original reason for Arabic was that Frederick Lugard (who was the first Commander of the West African Frontier Force (1897 - 99) and later the first High Commissioner of Northern Nigeria (1899 - 1906); and later the Governor of the protectorates of Northern and Southern Nigeria (1912 - 1914); and finally the first Governor General of post-amalgamation Nigeria (1914 - 1919 ); identified Arabic the only written "indigenous" language anywhere in Nigeria/West Africa, particularly among the widely spread Hausatrader classacross the region. (See Lugardreportto Parliament, 1919) Arabic inscriptions were, therefore, used as symbols, not only for currency but even on official West African Frontier Force badges etc... which persist until today in Nigerian Army badges etc... In themind oftheBritish colonial administrators in Nigeria - whoseadministrative experience was heavily influenced by their military service in Northern Nigeria and other parts of the sahel belt of West Africa - rightlyor wrongly, Arabic writing was to West Africa as Latin was to Europe.In addition to English, therefore, they used Arabic to domesticate British instruments meant for local use. The fact that such symbols still exist is one of many scars of the era of colonial rule. However, not all former British West African colonies still use Arabic translations on their currencies as a footnote to history. Nigeria and Gambia do. Ghana and Sierra Leone do not: 5 Likes 2 Shares |

alBHAGDADI: Thanks for Educating us on this. So it therefore means that All our soldiers are inscribed with "Soldiers of Allah". On nairaland you are made to sweat and agree to Allah before posting a message and after that, they will write Muslim inscriptions on your profile. How much is this forum paid to do this ? No wonder! It makes perfect sense to me now. That is why they do not kill Fulani herdsmen, they are all on the same mission of killing for Allah. And to even educate us that Allah is not the same God as the Christian God means there is a war going on between soldiers of Allah and followers of Jehovah. Those who can read, now you can decode the true nature of the place you call your country. They want to claim territory for Allahu. And my last research showed that an Avatar of Allah has already entered our Solar System and the Fourth Reight will be using Islam to decimate all other religions and Europe in other to herald the One World Government of Luciferan nature with headquarters at Khazastan. Look at the data on Khazastan and the Luciferan Agenda. It makes perfect sense now. I'm a gerrout of this shitt-hole then, cos it makes sense to me now what is coming. 4 Likes |

This is a misconception that will soon be corrected. No religion has the monopoly of power over this nation. It is not an Islamic nation. We do not communicate with Arabic language. Everything will come out clear soon before the eyes of everyone. Nothing will be hidden that will not be reviled. At the right time it will speak. This matter is not about FFK. We need unity of purpose for positive change for this nation. God bless Nigeria. FriendNG: 2 Likes |
